Disadvantages of buckwheat husk pillows

All problems associated with a pillow stuffed with buckwheat husks arise mainly from initial stage use. It could be:

• the need to get used to the pillow due to its hardness and weight;
• at first, the rustling of the husks may interfere with falling asleep;
• It will take some time to determine the optimal pillow volume for you personally;
• short service life;
• Some people are annoyed by the smell of buckwheat from the pillow.

A pillow with buckwheat husks is indeed more rigid than the down or feather bedding we are used to. This especially affects those who are not used to sleeping on their back. Lying on their side or stomach, some noted that in the first days of use, more pressure was placed on the ears and a tingling sensation appeared. However, you need to remember that if you purchased a pillow with buckwheat hulls in medicinal purposes, then sooner or later you will have to learn to sleep on your back so that your neck and head are placed in the correct position during sleep.

The next drawback is weight. A pillow with buckwheat husks does not allow for turning over during sleep, so its weight is appropriate - 1-5 kg.

You will also have to get used to this, as well as the fact that in order to move such a pillow you will need to put in more effort.

The rustle of buckwheat husks initially distracts some from sleep, which is not surprising - such pillows are considered hardly the noisiest. This greatly interferes, again, with those who sleep on their sides and stomachs, with their ear against the pillow. However, many users claim that this drawback goes away in a maximum of 3-4 days. Having gotten used to the crunching of buckwheat husks, at first, over time, you stop noticing it altogether.

To determine the size of the buckwheat pillow, you will need to experiment for several days with the amount of filler. Considering that the manufacturers have provided for everything and made the adjustment process as comfortable as possible (the cover has a zipper, an additional amount of buckwheat filling is supplied with the pillow), this drawback is also not so significant.

But the limited service life of a pillow with buckwheat hulls is a more serious inconvenience. As the husk gradually becomes denser with use, the size of the pillow gradually decreases. You can, of course, regularly add husks (if you have them in stock), but experts recommend completely updating the buckwheat pillow filler every 2-5 years. The frequency of updating here depends on how well you take care of the pillow.

The unpleasant smell from the pillow, which bothered users in the first days, also disappeared over time.

As you can see, almost all the disadvantages of a pillow with buckwheat filling are associated with primary inconveniences of use. Considering that the majority of people who use it note that they are satisfied with the purchase by about 4 points out of 5, it should be assumed that the benefits of a buckwheat husk pillow are still much greater. By the way, the manufacturing company also played an important role in the evaluation, so before purchasing, carefully study the sites with the product and try to evaluate it from the point of view of the quality and reliability of the supplier.

How to care for a “buckwheat” pillow?

As we have already written, there is nothing complicated in this matter. To extend the life of a pillow with buckwheat filling, it is necessary to carry out several manipulations:

1. Do not wash the entire pillow. Only send the diaper for washing. In this case, it is better to pour the filler into a sealed bag and protect it from moisture. Although it is preferable to clean the bedstead with a vacuum cleaner. It is recommended to clean the pillow with buckwheat hulls several times a month at the beginning of use, and then you can do this as needed.
2. Don't forget to ventilate your pillow. If possible, pour the filler into a suitable container and dry it in the sun (just keep it away from the wind!).
3. Shake the pillow regularly - this will help prevent husk particles from quickly knocking down.
4. Periodically sift the filler to get rid of crushed husk particles.

Pillow filling is an important component of a restful and healthy sleep. Not only the cost, but also the softness, elasticity of the surface, smell and the ability of the product to retain its shape depend on its quality and characteristics. In the East, the culture of sleep dates back more than one century. In Japan, for example, with apparent external asceticism, special requirements are placed on the rigidity, hygroscopicity and environmental friendliness of pastel accessories.

Pillows made from buckwheat husks are especially popular among the scrupulous Japanese. Many experts consider this option the best of all used today

natural fillers for bedding.

Unfortunately, such pillows are not yet widely available. But any of the models can be bought in the Dreamcatcher online store.

Residents of Moscow have the option of self-pickup or purchase at one of 11 operating retail outlets, full list which are located on the company’s website in the “Delivery and Payment” section.

What are the benefits of buckwheat husk pillows?

Unlike down pillows, the proposed option is more rigid. Thanks to the fine fraction, the filler freely takes the shape of the head, without losing elasticity and preventing the back of the head from “sagging.” In this position, there is no deformation of the cervical spine, and blood circulates freely without stagnation. With constant use of the pillow, noticeable improvements in well-being are observed in people suffering from headaches, increased intracranial pressure, chondrosis and other diseases of the blood vessels and musculoskeletal system.

2. In order for the pad to retain its properties longer healing properties, like any bedding, it needs to be shaken and ventilated. It is not recommended to wash the cover with filling.
3. Instead, experts advise “roasting” pillows in the summer sun or “calcining” them in the cold in winter.

Types of pillows made from buckwheat husks

Standard buckwheat pillow (price varies depending on size) - 40x60 cm and 50x70 cm. If necessary, you can order a model of a different size.

Often manufacturers offer not only traditional rectangular flat options, but also rollers or “horseshoes”. Their price is usually lower.

For children, special models of smaller size and filling density are produced.

The most popular additives used are combinations medicinal herbs, bamboo fiber, film pine nuts or a synthetic filler that regulates the rigidity of the product.

Unshelled buckwheat is sometimes found in large chain stores. You can buy it both at a beekeeping farm and from a farmer who grows this crop. Sometimes such cereals are sold in large markets. It is very important to determine the amount of such cereals. As a rule, unhulled cereals contain approximately the same amount of husk as kernels.

Husk separation

To separate the husks, you will need a thick cloth bag. Place the cereal in it and tie it. It is best to make a loop at the end of the tie to make it easier to bang this bag against the wall. If there is a lot of buckwheat, you can put the bag on the floor and beat it with a wooden stick. Ten minutes of intense beating will be enough. Cover the room with sheets or pieces of wallpaper. Place a large sheet of paper on top. Pour the contents of the bag onto it and place it in a warm place, but protected from direct sunlight and wind. The buckwheat together with the husk should dry well, after which the husk will easily separate. It is best to separate with a hairdryer or fan. The kernel will remain in place, but the husk will scatter, and this is what sheets or pieces of wallpaper are needed for. Collect the husks in a separate bag. There is no need to dry it additionally.

Napernik

They sew a buckwheat pillow in the same way as a feather pillow. True, the fabric for the bedspread may not be so thick, because buckwheat husks do not tend to come out through the gaps between the threads. Take a piece of fairly thick cotton fabric. Cut out a large rectangle. Fold it in half with the right side facing inward. Sew the side seams and part of the top seam, leaving a small opening. Stuff the pillow with buckwheat husks and seal the hole. Sew a pillowcase onto the pillow.

Buckwheat pillow

Despite the fact that buckwheat is not the most best material for stuffing, sometimes they make such pillows. Such bedding, however, turns out to be quite hard. In addition, buckwheat, unlike husks, can rot. Such a pillow usually does not last long, only a few months. The cereal must be thoroughly calcined. To do this, cover a baking sheet with tracing paper. Place the buckwheat in an even layer on the paper. Preheat the oven to 200°C, place a baking sheet in it and heat the cereal for half an hour. It is better to make a pillowcase for such a pillow from soft fabric. Modern hypoallergenic materials are suitable, as well as natural fabrics such as thick cloth. Stuff the pillow very tightly. You can take the most ordinary pillowcase, suitable in size.

From time immemorial, goose and duck down have been collected to make pillows and blankets. Natural feather products are soft, voluminous and can give the sweetest dream. However, those who suffer from allergies should approach the issue of using natural raw materials with special caution.

Procurement of raw materials

The production of a feather pillow begins from the moment of procurement of raw materials. For one thick pillow standard size you will need at least 1.2 kg of a mixture of feathers and down, which in terms of birds will be 10 geese or 15–20 ducks. The presence of feathers and down is mandatory, since an exclusively down product will quickly get confused and lose its shape.

During the harvesting process, feathers are plucked and sorted. In order for the feathers to be plucked well, the beaten bird must be immersed in boiled hot water for several minutes.

Having separated the feather plates from the edge, place the raw materials in gauze, calico or cotton bags measuring 80x50 cm. Prepare a soap solution by combining 200 g of grated water in 12 liters of boiling water. laundry soap and 800 g washing powder. Soak the feather bags for 30-40 minutes, then rinse in warm and cold water.

Pillow manufacturing sequence

For one feather pillow you will need:
- fluff,
- fabric 75x150 cm,
- ruler,
- scissors,
- threads,
- ruler.

To make pillows, choose natural fabric, the density of which will not allow fluff to escape during use. The most suitable would be teak - a cotton fabric that is particularly durable due to its weaving. The density of down-containing teak should vary from 140 to 155 grams per square meter of fabric. Teak is also supported by the fact that it is natural material, does not cause allergies, retains heat, while allowing air to pass through.

Cut a rectangle from the fabric and fold it in half. The making of the bedstead is carried out using a special linen seam. To do this, sew the edge on the right side, and then sew on the wrong side. Leave a small hole on one side through which you can fill the stuffing. Once you've finished stuffing the pillow, sew up the hole.

Feather pillow care

The durability of feather products largely depends on proper care. Feathers collect moisture, dust, and fat, so they need to be systematically washed at least once every 2 years. If this rule is followed, goose feather filler will not lose its quality for 25 years, duck feather filler for 10 years.

To wash the fluff, take it out of the pillowcase, place it in a gauze bag and wash it in soapy water, dry it and put it back into the pillowcase. Do not forget that the product should be stored in a dry and well-ventilated area.
